The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises... and, based on the first trailer for the third film, he also falls.
Christian Bale will once again put on the Batman suit to fight new bad guys, including Tom Hardy's Bane. He isn't the only Inception star reuniting with director Christopher Nolan though. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play a beat cop, while Marion Cotillard joins as a Wayne Enterprises board member, and Michael Caine returns as the always reliable Alfred. Anne Hathaway will also star as Selina Kyle, the alter ego of Catwoman.
Before you get too excited about the return of Batman...

Melissa Leo
Melissa Leo spent many weekends during the early part of this year staying in fancy hotel suites and accepting awards in ballrooms full of her fellow actors — no doubt the high point in her career.
Meanwhile, during the week, on the set of HBO's Treme, she slipped back into the skin of civil liberties lawyer Toni Bernette, a character no doubt at her lowest point following the post-Hurricane Katrina depression and eventual suicide of her husband, Creighton (John Goodman).
The beat goes on: Treme settles in for the "long haul" of Season 2
"Going back to Toni grounded me," Leo told TVGuide.com....

Mark Wahlberg
Well, there's one actor who doesn't seem to have any problems working with The Fighter director David O. Russell.
Mark Wahlberg told Chris Harrison that, in fact, the two will re-team on at least four to five movies over the next three years. "I put it in his contract that he can't make his next four movies without me," he said.
Oscars 2011 Top Moments: James Franco in a dress, Taylor Lautner without a shirt
The actor-producer also had offered a bit of a confession on Sunday's Oscars red carpet: It was Wahlberg's idea to have the real-life Dicky Eklund crash Christian Bale's acceptance speech at the SAG Awards. (Bale, of course, played Eklund in The Fighter.)
"'Listen,' I told Dicky, and I didn't tell Christian, 'When he wins -- and he will win -- run up there and just surprise him," Wahlberg said. But it's all good now. "Christian is obviously in love with Dicky, and he wouldn't be there without Dicky and all he had to go through. We've all grown so close, it's a special thing."
Check out Wahlberg's full interview:

Elton John
First to arrive at the 19th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party was the host himself, Sir Elton John. Tanned and relaxed from a recent vacation to Hawaii with baby Zachary and husband David Furnish, John was all smiles as he talked about the family. As for rumors of Lady Gaga being named godmother, that's still in debate...

Anne Hathaway and James Franco
Anne Hathaway and James Franco's first foray into hosting the Oscars was a little rocky, but there were still plenty of top moments to be had from the ceremony:
Most Awkward Host Introduction: Ouch. Anne Hathaway and James Franco's requisite montage of fake clips from the Best-Picture nominees fell flat, but at least we got a small giggle from seeing Franco in a white, full-body leotard for their Black Swan spoof. Can we get him and Justin Timberlake doing "Single Ladies"?
